City of Wonders.

Roy threw Zas, who was tied up like a rice dumpling, to the mossy steps and said aloud, "You want him, I brought it." ”

The stone door made a dull accent and opened slowly. A group of assassins appeared at the door, surrounded by Lei Xiaogu and Talia, and Talia was holding Barbara, who had not been seen for days.

Barbara is still wearing her uniform, but the mask has been removed. Her hands were tied behind her back, and her face looked a little thinner, but overall she didn't seem to be injured, which Lei Xiaogu was quite trustworthy.

"Roy? What's going on? She didn't figure out what was going on, but her gut told her that things weren't going for the better.

Roy said in a softened voice, "It's okay, it'll be fine soon." ”

"It's very good that you brought him in and was more efficient than we thought." Talia nodded repeatedly, "You've fully proven your abilities, and now you only need to pass the final level." ”

As soon as the words fell, she drew the dagger with a "whoosh" and pressed it against Barbara's white neck, the cold blade slightly sinking into her white skin.

"What do you want?" Roy's voice suddenly froze.

Lei Xiaogu spoke: "Now, you are faced with two options. Kill this evildoer, murderous beast around you, prove that you have the potential to do whatever it takes, and then become one of us in exchange for the safety of this woman you cherish the most; Or you can stick to the detective's teachings and trade the lives of the people you love the most for the lives of this murderous beast. You can choose to leave now, put him in jail, wait for him to break out next time, and continue to kill, and watch the girl splatter blood on the spot. ”

Speaking of this, Lei Xiaogu smiled slightly: "You are a smart man, Mr. Green. I don't think it's too hard to decide. ”

In just a few words, Barbara also judged the current situation. She shouted desperately, "Don't listen to him, Roy! There are some things you can't compromise with, and there are some things that you can never turn back once you give in! ”

Roy glanced at the people in front of him with a knife-like gaze, and finally his gaze fell on Zas, who was tied up and couldn't move.

Even in this moment, he was still whispering softly. If you listen closely, you can hear him still muttering words related to knives and blood.

Maybe Batman's morality is the right choice, maybe at this time, what a hero should do is to be desperate for morality.

But

After a brief moment of hesitation, Roy pressed his hands on either side of Zath's door. With his strength, with just one force, this cold-blooded killer would never escape the fate of a broken neck.

"No!" Barbara yelled, "You can't! Roy: If you do this for me, I'll never forgive you, you'll never forgive myself, do you understand? ”

Completely ignoring her words, Roy mistook his hands, and the killer in front of him lost his life on the spot.

Barbara stopped talking, just opened her mouth, as if she didn't know what to say.

Lei Xiaogu applauded loudly.

"Good, good, good!"

As if he couldn't get enough of it, he emphasized three "very good" in a row.

"Now I'm more confident that you also have the potential to become the best ninja master, even better than Batman himself. Because you are not as paranoid as he is, you can make the choices you should make when necessary. "You will lead the League of Assassins to greater heights, and you will accomplish the great cause of leaving a name in the history of mankind!" ”

"I'm done with this part of my agreement." Roy said, "Now, it's your turn." ”

"Of course."

Lei Xiaogu said, glancing at Talia. Talia immediately pushed Barbara away from behind and said, "As agreed, you can go." ”

Barbara walked up to Roy with a look of disbelief.

"It must not be true, right?" She asked in a trembling voice, "What assassin are you going to join them in?" ”

"That's how it looks." Roy said calmly.

"How can you"

Roy held out a finger and pressed it lightly to her lips.

"You may not know, Ba." He said slowly, "I've changed a lot since I met you. I'm learning to follow some boundaries that I didn't care about in the past, because subconsciously I always want to be the person you see me as you see me. Because of you, I want to be better. But if such a choice will cost you your life, it doesn't make sense. ”

Barbara shook her head: "No, it's not"

"Of course, you won't forgive me for doing that." Roy interrupted her, "You should be the same, I didn't expect you to forgive. So if you still want to trust me, listen to me one last time - forget about me. Just as if I was dead. You're a sunny girl, Barbara, and even after three of the darkest years of your life, living in a place like Gotham, witnessing and even experiencing the darkest things in the whole world all the time, you never let go of the light part. So I believe that after today, you will be able to continue to live well. ”

"I'm just a part of your life—a very small part, and I'm very honored to be a part of it. But don't let me be a stumbling block for you to move forward. ”

With that, he kissed Barbara lightly on her lips.

"I'm sorry."

"Then please," Barbara's eyes were already slightly red, "don't"

But that won't stop anything.

Roy stepped up the stairs and into the line of assassins. Lei Xiaogu shook off the dark green cloak and strode the dry assassin inside.

The stone door closed slowly and sullenly.

Barbara stood outside the door for a long time.

Maybe it's a shocking thing, but for the average girl, their choice might be to cry out loud and complain about why fate is so unfair, cursing the person who took an important part of their life.

But she won't.

She's a bat girl, not only does Roy say - she always finds light in the darkness, and she never gives up easily. She is a girl who does not admit defeat, and no matter what kind of predicament, she always has to try to break through.

It probably took her more than a minute to break free from the ropes on her body, and then she pulled out the communicator in her belt.

"Kassan? If you can hear me, pronounce me the name of the place where you are now, and I will go to you now. She said hurriedly, "There's something wrong with Roy here...... Big trouble, I need your help. (To be continued.) )
